I’m less in love with number 4 for a variety of reasons but one thing that’s been annoying me has been the difference in sound a body makes when it explodes. I absolutely devoured Fallout 3 and it’s now become one of my favourite games. I’m very late to the party with this but I’ve just recently got into playing Fallout games (thank you Game Pass). I had to mention Jeff Steizer the legendary multiplayer voice announcer: ‘Overkill’, ‘Slayer’, ‘Lost the lead’, and ‘Game over’. Halo sound effects are fantastic and make the game come to life. Then there’s the Banshee’s 360° spin, the Scarab firing, the Ghost speeding along, and the Scorpion tank moving.Įach weapon has its own personal sound effect, including the shotgun reload, Magnum reload, BR 3 round burst, AR rapid firing, sniper round, rocket launcher, and grenades effects.Ĭovenant and Forerunner weapons all have great sounds, my personal favourites are the energy sword, Needler, grav hammer, Z-250 rifle, and plasma rifle. Vehicles are very specific sounds: the Warthog’s engine, horn, and 50 cal. The Flood have an odd sound when they are near, a great little touch as well. This includes being spotted, ordering forces to attack, and the final death cry to let you know they’re nearly extinguished. The shields rebooting is one of my favourites, which lets you know when you can get back into the chaos.Īnother is the Covenant speaking, especially the Elites.


What makes Halo unique from other first person shooters is the great little sound effects that Bungie and 343 have keep over the years to familiarise the players with what each sound represents.
